actually, converting Derelict back to "header bindings" is fairly easy, and can be done with sed. i did that for SDL and some others. > Perhaps bindings shouldn't go through the review process.

Xlib bindings was all the way wrong both with `wchar_t` functions and with enum types. first took me the whole day to understand why i see no text at all, and second took me even more days to understand why XIM calls doesn't fail, but not doing what they should. mechanically translated defines with L becomes longs instead of c_longs (ints, actually, on my x86), and that broke variadic args XIM call. so i believe that bindings should be reviewed *very* carefully. actually, bindings is the last place where people look for possible bugs, especially if those are "officially blessed bindings".
